Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are astonishingly versatile molecular and radicals that poised at the core of a sophisticated network signaling pathways plants act as regulator cell physiology cellular responses to environment. ROS continuously generated in an inevitable consequence redox cascades aerobic metabolism. In one hand, surfeited with mechanism combat reactive species, other circumstances, appear purposefully generate (oxidative burst) exploit or ROS-induced secondary breakdown...
Abstract Asparagus racemosus Willd., a significant medicinal plant in India’s Darjeeling Himalayan region. The current study aims to assess the antidiabetic efficacy of aerial part Willd. utilizing streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rat model. methanolic extract (ARME) was evaluated for vitro activity through α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzyme suppression assay assessed vivo streptozotocin-induced A 21-day chronic multiple-dose ARME examined. STZ-induced rats were treated with...
Heat caused reduction in membrane protein thiol content, increased accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and reduced germination rate early growth germinating Amaranthus lividus seeds. Imposition heat stress during also causes oxygen species like superoxide hydrogen peroxide while activities antioxidative enzymes catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase decreased. Calcium chelator (EGTA), calcium channel blocker (LaCl3) calmodulin inhibitor (trifluroperazine)...
Equisetum diffusum D. Don commonly known as 'Himalayan horsetail', has been traditionally used in the treatment of back pain, bone fracture and dislocation, arthritis by various tribal communities India. Our previous study confirmed anti-inflammatory efficacy plant through silico, vitro, vivo model studies. Therefore, current research is focused on safety dose evaluation for first-time whole-plant methanol extract (EDME) E. appropriate approaches.
Membrane lipid peroxidation, activity of free radical scavangers and ethylene evolution Amaranthus lividus seedlings were used to determine the lead cadmium (1, 10, 100 1000 µM) induced phytotoxicity. Malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation higher lipoxygenase (LOX) was found in 7-d-old treated seedlings. The activities like peroxidase, catalase superoxide dismutase declined considerably with concomitant rise hydrogen peroxide level. Heavy metal treatment also caused decline germinating
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties of four underutilized ethno-medicinal plants viz. Apluda mutica, Mikania micrantha, Kyllinga nemoralis Cleome rutidosperma, growing different parts West Bengal, India. anti-oxidant were evaluated using solvent extracts. 70% aq. ethanol extract investigated plant samples found have adequate quantities total phenolic (141.94±0.67-230.45±0.12 mg GAE/g dry extract), flavonoid...
One of the important initial events upon recognition a plant pathogen is changes in redox status infected cells due to accumulation Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Though plants have evolved an array defensive strategies resist stresses, including those from attack by pathogens, but changed cue are often exploited for specific purpose as well. It becoming evident gradually that ROS or cue, which generated during recognized signaling agent triggering responses. The necrosis tissue caused...
Oxidative stress-related damage to the DNA macromolecule produces lesions that are implicated in various diseases.To understand DNA, it is important study free radical reactions causing damage.Measurement of has been a matter debate as most available methods measure end product sequence events and provide limited information on initial formation.We report measurement induced by Cu(II)-H 2 O oxidizing system using immuno-spin trapping supplemented with electron paramagnetic resonance.In this...
The present study makes an effort to evaluate the content of water-soluble vitamins like ascorbic acid (C), thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic (B5), pyridoxine (B6) and folic (B9) by HPLC Cyperus compressus. in vitro antioxidant activity was carried out different solvent system varying polarity. 70% ethanol appeared be most potent for extraction compounds. total phenolic flavonoid were found 72.544 ± 0.144 mg/g dm 12.930 respectively plant. Simultaneous fingerprinting...
An effort has been made to assess the role of reactive oxygen species in germination and subsequent growth Amaranthus lividus under elevated temperature. Transfer A. seeds from 25 45 °C for 4, 8 12 h, during early imbibitional period reduced percentage germination, relative performance, index seedling length. Heat shock decreased also activities free radical scavenging enzymes like catalase, peroxidase superoxide dismutase, increased accumulation superoxide, hydrogen peroxide induced...
The present study makes an effort to investigate the foliar neutraceutical potential of a promising green accession seed amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus, no. IC94661) based on anti-lipid peroxidation property, reducing power, metal chelating activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging antidiabetic factor and GC-MS identification containing phytochemicals. Methanol aqueous fractions possessed exhibited better peroxidation, reducing, scavenging, properties in experimental accession. Estimation...
